A Conservative Response to Professional Politicians–Stay At Home!

” It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood.”~ James Madison

I did not vote today to send a message to professional politicians of both parties.

Neither of the leading Republican nor Democratic Presidential candidates are conservatives and or libertarians.

I will continue to stay home until the professional politicians demonstrate they are serious about controlling illegal immigration, government spending, lowering both Federal, state and local taxes, reforming the tax code and replacing it with the Fair Tax, and stop nation building abroad.

Low turnout is the kiss of death to professional politicians who relie upon the continued support of the conservative base to win elections.

Voting for the lesser of two evils is still evil.

Anything you subsidize you get more of.

Voting for a candidate is tacit approval with the positions of the candidate you vote for in a primary, whether you do or not.

I will not vote for any politician I do not trust of either party.

Stay at home conservatives–the Republicans worse nightmare!

John McCain: The Myth of a Maverick

Be Afraid of President McCain

The frightening mind of an authoritarian maverick

“…McCain is at his most unintentionally revealing when writing about his Republican predecessor in the Senate, Barry Goldwater. “I really don’t think he liked me much,” he wrote in Worth the Fighting For. “I don’t know why that was.…He was usually cordial, just never as affectionate as I would have liked.”

That it never occurred to McCain why a libertarian Westerner might keep a “national greatness” conservative and D.C.-bred carpetbagger at arm’s length is both touching and deeply worrisome. Does he not understand that there are at least some people in American life who take liberty as seriously as McCain takes his notions of national duty? Judging by a comment he made recently on the Don Imus radio show, the answer seems to be no. Defending campaign finance reform, McCain said, “I would rather have a clean government than one…where ‘First Amendment rights’ are being respected that has become corrupt. If I had my choice I’d rather have a clean government.”
